I've painted a ton of autumn scenes over the years, but they have always been aspen groves or riparian cottonwoods. I like these dark, bare trunks because they are unobscured by form-masking foliage. I've always liked the Klimt-esque feeling of a bare forest. This was fun.

Catalyst

I am using this blog as a catalyst, to inspire me to paint every day. There are forms, compositions and color juxtapositions everywhere i look, provided that i take the time to do so. So if you see that i haven't posted a painting in several days, leave me a comment deriding me for my laziness and lack of artistic conviction. I have no excuse not to put brush to canvas, regardless of the subject matter around me. I hope you enjoy the results.
